“EU - Consumers’ reactions to nutrition and ingredient labelling for wine – A cross-country discrete choice experiment”

 



Simone Mueller Loose et al., . Appetite (2020) doi.org/10.1016/j.appet.2020.104843 [published online before print: 18 August 2020 (*)].

 

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine consumers' reactions to the introduction of nutrition and ingredient labelling for wine, a product that is so far still exempt from mandatory nutrition and ingredient labelling. It also analyses the effect of positive and negative information about the use of ingredients in wine on consumers' choice. Representative samples for wine consumers from three distinctly different countries representing old and new wine markets (Australia, n = 745; Germany, n = 716; Italy, n = 715) completed a discrete choice experiment (DCE) with graphically simulated wine back labels. For each country, respondents were randomly allocated to a reference group and two different treatment conditions where they received newspaper-like information (positive, negative) before making choices. Results for the reference condition show that consumers across all three countries have a significant positive utility for detailed nutrition information. Instead, ingredient information only receives a positive utility in Italy, whereas German and Australian respondents do not receive utility from ingredient labelling. When consumers in the treatment group are confronted with negative media information the attribute importance of ingredients significantly increases across all three countries, clean labelled products without ingredients are preferred, and a significantly higher share of consumers in Germany and Italy prefer not to buy any wine. The treatment effect of positive media information on consumers’ wine choice is lower than that of negative information. The results of the study have implications for the pending new regulation of wine labelling and for communication strategies of the wine industry that should actively inform consumers about the necessity of ingredients in wine production.

Publicidad alimentaria [Food Advertising]



Gráinne Murphy et al., “See, Like, Share, Remember: Adolescents’ Responses to Unhealthy-, Healthy- and Non-Food Advertising in Social Media”. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, No. 17 (2020) doi.org/10.3390/ijerph17072181 [available on the Internet at <https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/7/2181> (last accessed on 2 April 2020)].

Abstract
Media-saturated digital environments seek to influence social media users’ behaviour, including through marketing. The World Health Organization has identified food marketing, including advertising for unhealthy items, as detrimental to health, and in many countries, regulation restricts such marketing and advertising to younger children. Yet regulation rarely addresses adolescents and few studies have examined their responses to social media advertising. In two studies, we examined adolescents’ attention, memory and social responses to advertising posts, including interactions between product types and source of posts. We hypothesized adolescents would respond more positively to unhealthy food advertising compared to healthy food or non-food advertising, and more positively to ads shared by peers or celebrities than to ads shared by a brand. Outcomes measured were (1a) social responses (likelihood to ‘share’, attitude to peer); (1b) brand memory (recall, recognition) and (2) attention (eye-tracking fixation duration and count). Participants were 151 adolescent social media users (Study 1: n = 72; 13–14 years; M = 13.56 years, SD = 0.5; Study 2: n = 79, 13–17 years, M = 15.37 years, SD = 1.351). They viewed 36 fictitious Facebook profile feeds created to show age-typical content. In a 3 × 3 factorial design, each contained an advertising post that varied by content (healthy/unhealthy/non-food) and source (peer/celebrity/company). Generalised linear mixed models showed that advertisements for unhealthy food evoked significantly more positive responses, compared to non-food and healthy food, on 5 of 6 measures: adolescents were more likely to wish to ‘share’ unhealthy posts; rated peers more positively when they had unhealthy posts in their feeds; recalled and recognised a greater number of unhealthy food brands; and viewed unhealthy advertising posts for longer. Interactions with sources (peers, celebrities and companies) were more complex but also favoured unhealthy food advertising. Implications are that regulation of unhealthy food advertising should address adolescents and digital media.

Abstract
In today’s world advertisement plays an important role in influencing customers buying behaviour for products and services. Every company wants to achieve the highest market share. For this purpose, companies use different ways to attract customers of different segments in the best and in a sustainable manner to become the market leader. In this challenging environment, companies are in a position to promote its products in such a way that it gets more loyal customers. They are focusing on the niche of children for marketing their products because they are the ones who are easily attracted by advertisements and are influenced to buy the advertised products. There are various ways in which a company promotes its products. One such way adopted for promotion is ‘Television advertisements’. This paper has made an attempt to study the impact of television advertisements on the buying behaviour of children and how companies can promote their products in an environmental-friendly manner, focusing on children in relation to it.

Abstract
This study is a systematic literature review of geographical origin authentication by elemental analytical techniques. Authentication and certification of geographic origin of agri-food products is a useful tool toward the protection of the quality for products. The aim of this work was to map the current state of research in the area of agricultural products and food, identifying emerging fields to the geographical origin of products. The article is divided in three parts. The first part of the article deals with the analytical techniques applied in the food authentication. Special mention is made to elemental analysis and multiple isotope ratio. The second section focuses on statistically published data concerning published research for geographical origin authentication for the period 2015–2019. Specific results are presented inter alia: number of articles according to the type of product, articles according to the type of the analytical techniques, and others. The third part contains characteristic results from articles that were published in the period 2015–2019, on certification of geographical origin on specific agricultural products.

Abstract
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of twenty-first century as it is not only going to affect humankind directly, but by affecting the different regions of the globe differently, it will cause changes in agricultural ecosystems. Developing countries having tropical climate will be more severely affected as increasing temperature and drought conditions will increase the demand for water. A slight increase in temperature will affect the yields of crops in colder temperate regions as well. Grains and oilseeds will mature faster whereas, in horticulture, tomatoes, onions and fruits might be produced of low quality because of climate change. Developing countries which are densely populated, are going to be adversely affected and would experience severe food insecurity. Agriculture is one sector which not only causes climate change itself, but is also affected in worst way by climate change. There is an increased demand for use of biotechnological tools to help crops adapt to the various climatic changes which will not only help these crops to survive in adverse conditions but will also save humankind from severe food insecurity.

“Dietary Fiber Nutrition Label and Green Brand Strategy for Dairy Companies”




Jiangman Yu and Beibei Huang, Archivos Latino Americanos de Nutrición, Vol. 70 No. 2 (2020) 320-329


Abstract

The nutrient composition table on the nutrition label is labeled with the food nutrient composition name, content and reference value of nutrients. The nutrient composition table should first indicate the four core nutrients such as energy and protein, fat, carbohydrate and sodium. Dietary fiber nutrition is particularly important for human health. This article analyzes the dietary fiber nutrition label and the green brand strategy of dairy companies. Creating a green dairy product brand and carrying out differentiated production and operation have the role of industry demonstration and drive the development of the industrial chain. Cultivate green brand awareness among all employees in the production and operation activities of the enterprise, effectively establish and improve the "green" operating mechanism, and make the concept of green brand truly a guide to action for management.

Key words: Dietary fiber; Green brand strategy; Organic food; Amino acid nutrition

Desperdicio y pérdida de alimentos [Food waste and losses]

Studies in Indian Place Names (UGC Care Journal), Vol. 40 (2020) 1957-1971 [available on the Internet at https://archives.tpnsindia.org/index.php/sipn/article/view/2670/2578 (last accessed on 19 March 2020)].

Abstract

In European and Asian countries, the largest and increasing part of food is wasted at the consumer level. This  issue has  gained  considerable  public  and  government  attention  in the past decades, to curtail the wastage of food at all the stages, specifically retail chains and consumer  level. By the  time  large  number  of  initiatives  executed  by  different  stakeholders such as policy makers, retailers of France, and NGOs of Denmark and research projects that have and are exploring the issue. Furthermore, the European Parliament has called for 2014 to be the ‘year against food waste’. It is well  known  reason  that  consumers  are  avoiding distorted  food  and  foods  which  are  about  to  expire,  to  the  best  before  date,  in  the  choice situation  of  food  safety  concerns  and  more  reasons  are  behind  this  is  the  lack  of  storage facilities,  family  practices  about  meals  like  choices and  more  interest  in  junk  food  that  the prepared food at home this influences the quantity of food waste created in the household.

Abstract

Reducing food waste is widely recognized as critical for improving resource efficiency and meeting the nutritional demand of a growing human population. Here we explore whether the sharing economy can provide meaningful assistance to reducing food waste in a relatively low-impact and environmentally-sound way. Analyzing 170,000 postings on a popular peer-to-peer food-sharing app, we find that over 19 months, 90t of food waste with an equivalent retail value of £0.7 million were collected by secondary consumers and diverted from disposal. An environmental analysis focused on Greater London reveals that these exchanges were responsible for avoiding emission of 87–156t of CO2eq. Our results indicate that most exchanges were among users associated with lower income yet higher levels of education. These findings, together with the high collection rates (60% on average) suggest that the sharing economy may offer powerful means for improving resource efficiency and reducing food waste.

Abstract

In recent years, reducing food waste and loss has become a policy priority in the European Union, but little is known about impacts of related measures in the EU and beyond. This study informs the debate on food waste reduction through a quantitative analysis. It considers adjustment costs for reducing food waste in food processing industries and impacts on food availability, pressure on land and water, and other environmental consequences.  The results suggest that the leakage effects of  global  trade  may offset  almost  all  benefits  of  food  waste  reduction  in  the  EU.  We thus conclude that costly efforts to reduce food waste in the EU cannot be motivated by larger contributions to global food availability and environmental benefits. This highlights the need for global coordination of such policies and/or more targeted actions in the EU which focus on specific production chains, where losses can be reduced and environmental gains obtained at a relatively low cost.
